Education is a Process, Not a Destination
Dec. 14, 2007
Yes, we're here!
We're still going. The Bear has been more sick this fall/winter than ever in his life--lots and lots of colds from a friend who goes to preschool. So I decided to cut everything back just to reading for now, with math added in the spring.
Reading is going great, though. It's been hard going at times, but in the last few weeks, it clicked!
In August, he was reading at about a 2.5-grade level. Now, he's a solid 4.0, minimum--in fact, he'd be in the middle of the pack in a class of 5th graders at this time of year. Woo-hoo! I've been looking forward to this moment so long. Automaticity can not be overrated.
So, here's a list of the books the Bear has read to date:
